ACADEMIC JOURNEY

At Lochinver House, we know that true academic growth happens in many forms. That is why our co-curricular programme is an essential part of each pupil’s academic journey. From coding clubs to debate teams, eco-initiatives to entrepreneurial challenges, pupils are encouraged to apply their learning in exciting and creative contexts.

These wider opportunities help children consolidate their skills, explore new interests, and see the relevance of their education in the world beyond the school gates.

International Primary Curriculum (IPC)

International Primary Curriculum

The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) is a comprehensive and thematic curricular framework that offers a holistic approach to learning, integrating multiple subjects, encouraging inquiry-based learning and promoting the development of key skills, knowledge and understanding across various disciplines. The International Primary Curriculum is taught to pupils from Little Lochies to Year 2.

As a thematic programme of half-termly units of learning, the IPC allows  cross-linkage between subjects such as science, geography, history, art, design technology and health and wellbeing. It also provides a depth of meaningful and exciting experiences, that are based on proven, pedagogical research that ensures challenge and progression. It enhances our diverse community by promoting not only a real-life application to learning but also that all children are celebrated and see a place for themselves in the wider world.

Whilst cross-subject linkage is made, English and mathematics enjoy their own stimulating, in-depth and progressive curricula that ensure a high degree of success at 11+ and 13+ senior school entrance.
